Description

Easily transport 2 bikes on your RV ladder.

Universal design attaches to any RV ladder, allowing you to use your hitch for towing. Installs and is ready to use in less than 5 minutes. Anodized aluminum construction is both lightweight for easy transport and durable to stand up to the rigors of travel. Soft neoprene cushions protect your bikes from damage during travel. Velcro straps secure bikes to the rack. Will not work on some mountain bikes.

It does the job

After researching several bicycle racks for our truck camper, we picked this one up at a Camping World store. We have used it multiple times over the past 18 months and it works great. The straps are sturdy. The trick is to pass them through the buckle the first time, and then the velcro lines up on the second pass around the bike frame and the rack. I also run a security cable through the ladder, the bike frame and wheels, for peace of mind. I load our bikes in opposite directions, which seem to help offset the weight. Due to the location of our ladder, the front tire of one bike tends to hang out beyond the side of the camper, so I have started removing it and stowing it either inside the camper, or inside the truck. Either way, it only adds a minute or two to the loading and unloading, and then I do not worry about a close encounter with a bush, tree, etc. I highly recommend this rack.

Straps Useless

The aluminum parts are of excellent quality. The cushions to catch the frame are OK but
tend to not keep the frame in place. The straps are useless and are Impossible to tighten
satisfactorily. The fixed straps are in the wrong place and the velcro patches do not match
up with any logical strapping configuration. The buckles on any of the straps do not hold.

First trip with the rack was from N.E. to southern Florida. It worked fine. The issue with
the rack is securing the small straps that secure the bike to the rack and getting them to
secure the rack to the ladder. There isn't enough space to get them into proper position
on the ladder. The other issue is the bike wheels hanging out the side of the M.H., I had
to remove wheels. It was a learning curve. But in the end it worked fine.

for the price good not for long trip

Used it on a short trip and the rubber piece broke. I returned to store and got another one. I think I will return back to store and get a better one. Like the saying says
what you pay is what you get. You have to pay more to get some better.

you get what you pay for

i bought this because it was the cheapest i could find. its pretty flimsy but does get the job done. the straps are a mess so i dont even use them. i hang my bikes then use ratchet tie straps to completely secure them to the ladder during travel. all in all i like the product but would probably go for a more expensive unit next time around

Great Product but....

This rack appears to be strong and performs as expected. We bought the rack solely to store our bikes when we're at a campground. When we travel, we store our bike in our CRV. When we arrive at a campsite, we store the bikes on our motorhome to keep our
CRV cargo space.The rack does exactly what it is advertised to do and it does it well. However, if you plan on traveling with bikes on the rack, you need to consider the width of your RV and the location of the ladder on your RV. If your ladder is off to one side, your bikes may extend beyond the width of your RV. In our case, the bikes would extend about 2' beyond the width of our
motorhome. Our motorhome would be oversized.

It works

It works....have carried bikes over 3000 miles. Doesn't necessarily fit all bikes, but can be made to work. Had to add straps to assure bikes fastened securely. One of rubber bike holder supports broke during trip, but able to survive with additional straps.

Bike rack works for more that designed for

Discovered it wouldn't work with our bicycles. No matter. Works GREAT with our zero gravity loungers!! It was a bit
tedious getting them into a storage compartment so the ladder mount rack is the perfect solution

works great!!!!

I don't have a square bumper on my 5er and I needed a way to carry two bikes. This ladder rack carrier worked just great, and less costly than if I did have a tube type bumper. They stayed right where I put them, coming and going.

I have a 9 foot cabover camper and we just returned from a two week, 1200 mile trip. The ladder mounted bike rack worked flawlessly throughout. However, there was one glitch, and that was; I had to remove the ffront tires on both bikes when mounted in order to open the camper door.

This Item was poor Quality and after using the first time it was twisted out of shape. We
took a 2900 mile trip with bikes loaded and the bumps on Interstates were too much
for this weak design. Will not use again due to some damage to paint on bikes. Would
not recommend purchase of this.

Worked great on my flat step ladder. Would have to loosen or take off hooks to mount it to a ladder with round steps. The straps on the rack have buckels that take too long to thread the strap though. They also have velcro on the strap that is plenty to hold the bike. The rack
looks to be well built with sturdy material.

I bought this item about a month ago. My first camping trip of the season. I adjusted the bike rack on the ladder, got the bikes, and well, mountain
bikes will not work with this rack. The bike frames have chain adjusters on them. The description should let everyone know that you con only use old
fashion bikes with his product. So if you have mountain bikes do not buy this.

Nice bike rack - but....

This bike rack is very well made, assembles easily, & seems to do a fine job so far, but the instructions say to make sure to use the velcro on the straps to keep the straps tight
& there is no way to use this velcro on these straps. One portion of the velcro is on the wrong side of each strap & will never meet the piece on the oposite side to hold the bikes
securely.
If anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them ?

I, too, had issues with getting our bikes to stop swaying
and hitting the back of the motorhome. However, with the
addition of two bungie cords, I have been able to keep the
bikes from swaying and banging. The ladder rack also frees
up my hitch for our cargo carrier.

Not if you care about your bike.

I purchased this item even though the only review was very negative. I currently use a hitch mount bike rack on the rear of my tow dinghy (Jeep) and tire of removing the bikes and rack to use the Jeep. We take long rides to visit and tour and frequently use back and dirt roads that beat-up the rack and bikes. So, I wanted a good alternative that would
allow me to get a bike off quickly, take a ride, then remount it. This isn't the answer. I installed it last night and attempted to mount my bike on it, but soon realized I would be adding a bunch of ropes to keep it from banging around as we travel and several folded
rags to prevent the rack and ladder from destroying the paint on the bike. I repackaged it and will be returning it today. I gave this rack three stars only because, in all fairness, I did not road test it. But, if you use this rack and don't take additional measures to keep
your bike from moving while you travel, you'll be beating up your bike, ladder, the rack and maybe the rear of your RV.

Suprised to read the negative rieviews. Hauled two moutain bikes 4,500 miles, through rain and wind and had Zero problems and the bikes carried nicely. I did have to add some of my own bungee cords to keep the wheels stable so they did not rub the coach but worked fine for me. For the price, I am very pleased.

Product Question & Answer

Can it hold CW's 12-speed Adventurer fold-up bike? If yes, will it hold two and can they be in the folded position? Please note, each bike weight 44 p

This rack shows a weight capacity of up to 200 pounds, it will hold two of the 12-Speed Adventurer bikes, however having them folded may take up more room than available to fit them both on the rack.
